Johnny 2.0 Presents Crucio

...As part of the Flesh and Blood X 2 evenings on 26 and 27 February at the Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica, Johnny 2.0 will present one man's mental exploration of his body in which the origins of his thoughts reveal the perversion, decadence, lust and anger encoded in the cycle of life... Clive has worked with Johnny 2.0 on Imagining Man and has now acted as consultant and mentor on this show. Clive says: "Naked, the man called Johnny 2.0, has all he needs to tell his stories. They are radically different from those stories told by mainstream theatre or cinema, as is the manner in which he tells them. But he has earned the right to his originality. He asks for nothing, except a space in which to perform. His body will do the rest. He has created a language of performance that has no need of scenery or costume, masks, curtains or effects. The body is everything. Even the word is not to be trusted. Yes, sometimes he’ll let out a primal cry: but there’s nothing in the sound that resembles sense. "Birth is painful, of course, which perhaps explains the anguish that informs these early works. Johnny 2.0 is still young; barely twenty-seven. But whatever changes occur in the work as he gets older my guess is he’ll stay naked, if that keeps him free." Tickets are $20 / $15.
